Grounding electrodes with good current discharging performance can ensure the reliability of power system security. Discharging current is not only the reason for accelerating the corrosion, but also the key indicator of the grounding electrodes’ grounding performance, which directly affects the grounding resistance, step voltage, ground potential distribution, and other macro grounding parameters. This paper focuses on the discharging current distribution of horizontal and vertical grounding electrodes. Based on the FEM of space tetrahedron and space coordinate transformation method, the calculation model of the horizontal grounding with ground lead and the vertical grounding is proposed, and distribution of discharging current on grounding electrodes with different length is analyzed. Results reveal that discharging current distribution on different location of the aforementioned grounding electrodes. Components of discharging current density on grounding electrodes surface and ground lead exhibit sinusoidal distribution along the circumference of the section on grounding electrodes, and discharging current inside the section are more concentrated on the surface of the section and less on the center. Most discharging current near the junction between horizontal grounding electrodes and ground lead is perpendicular to plane defined by grounding electrodes and ground lead.
